5.0/5

The macOS clipboard is quite limited, and the secondary clipboard isn’t even worth mentioning. If you want to extend your clipboard’s capabilities and have access to multiple copied items, you have to get a third-party app.

CopyLess is a great option if you’ve decided you need something more. It provides you with a history of clipboard items, which you can access and paste anywhere at any time, shortcuts, favorites, iCloud sync, and more. It includes a paid tier, but the free version is more than enough for most users.

While the app is running, anything you send to the clipboard is stored, be it text, files, or images. The item limit is quite reasonable in the free version, and it goes up to 1000 in CopyLess Pro, which is far more than you will likely need.

If you need to paste something you’ve copied at some point, just bring up the app and find the item. You can use the search function, favorite items, and even create shortcuts for things you need often. Just copy them from this list as usual, or use a hotkey to send them to the clipboard. Quick Look also allows you to preview items.

Direct paste enables you to instantly paste something in the last active application by double-clicking it in the main window or using its assigned hotkey.

While enabled, the Plain Text function gets rid of all text formatting when it is copied. There is generally little reason to preserve formatting, but you can still turn this off if you wish.

A pretty cool feature lets you copy several things to the clipboard and then paste them in the same order, one by one. This can be very useful, for instance, for filling out forms or extracting passages from a larger text.

CopyLess is easy to recommend as a macOS clipboard extender. It has plenty of features, lots of room for customization, iCloud sync, and an intuitive interface. The free edition should be enough for most people, and the Pro version is quite cheap and available as a one-time purchase.
